Maintenance of electrical function
Safety in case of fire
To ensure that emergency and escape routes and important technical
equipment such as emergency lighting, fire alarm systems and smoke
exhaust systems remain usable in case of fire, it is absolutely essential to
provide special protection for the power supply for these systems. The
use of special cables and laying systems means that it is possible to
maintain the power supply, even in the case of fire, thus guaranteeing the
maintenance of electrical function.
You can find detailed information on the subject of fire protection in the
OBO BSS fire protection catalogue.
The maintenance of electrical function
is particularly important in
buildings regularly frequented by
large numbers of people. These include
public buildings such as
schools, hospitals, meeting places,
civic buildings and underground
stations, but also industrial plants,
high-rise buildings, shopping
centres and large car parks.
Fire loads of installation systems
According to rules governing wiring
systems in the individual German
federal states, no fire loads
may be installed in emergency and
escape routes. OBO’s fire-tested
steel fastenings fulfil these requirements.
Junction boxes which have the capability to maintain
electrical function ensure the fireproof connection
of the safety cables. The boxes in the FireBox
series are tested and approved to maintain electrical
function for 30 to 90 minutes in accordance with
DIN 4102-12.
